EH> JB>>>>> speech and religion ?  Do you assume your
rights are more
EH> JB>>>>> important than  someone else's ?  Your answer
appears to be
EH> EH>> that they lose  DC> their
EH> JB>>>>> rights  so that you may be comfortable.

EH> DC>>>> Wrong, Jeff.  Freedom of Religion does not give anyone the
EH> DC>>>> right to push their religion in a public venue.

EH> EH>>>> You are mistaken. The First Amendment only limits the power
EH> EH>>>> of government WRT religion. If you are offended
by someone's
EH> EH>>>> display of religion, remove yourself from their presence.

EH> DC>>> Sure, if the dislay is on private property.

EH> EH>> Even if it's on public property. You aren't required to
EH>participate.

EH> DC>>> Having that crap displayed on public property is an afront to
EH> EH>> each and every person who
EH> DC>>> has the right to be on that public property that doesn't buy
EH> DC>>> into that particular religious poiny of view.

EH> EH>> Huh? Where is the right not to be offended come from?

EH> JB> And he's only offended if it is on public property.  So when he
EH> JB> sees any religious symbol he can instantly tell whether it is on
EH> JB> private or public property to know whether he should be offended
EH> JB> or not ?  Wow.  I don't know about you but I often can't tell by
EH> JB> glancing at a building who owns it.  He's got some apparent
EH> JB> special power that the rest of us don't have.  Of course if it
EH> JB> exists then I believe the solution is for the government to own
EH> JB> many less buildings and pieces of property.

EH>There you go. The government should divest itself of all the
EH>property. What is the government doing owning property anyway?

EH>I can tell from how Ceppa behaves that he would be just as offended
EH>if the display was on private property. It's just that he couldn't do
EH>anything about it.

Exactly.  This is where his bigotry is on display for the entire world 
to see.  He and Sauer are just blind to it.
